How to make a sweet drift wood mini tree that can be self standing or wall mounted.
What's unique about this mini Christmas tree is that it mounts to the wall.
I started with the layout.
Tools involved: a drill, hammer and nails.
I drilled holes into the wood sticks so that the nails would go right through them. And I pre-drilled the stem (hole size smaller than nails). I added a dab of glue as well. Not really necessary, but I wanted to give my mini Christmas tree extra strength.
Nailing the branches to the stem.
Et voilà!
You need a block of wood for the base and drill a hole in the center. Make the hole just big enough so you can push the stem in. Fill up any gaps with hot glue.
As a tree topper I used a beautiful scallop shell that I picked up on the beach.
To mount the drift wood tree to the wall, attached a simple aluminum z-clip. One part is attached to the wood block, the other part goes on the wall, then simply clip it on.
